Advertiser - Friday April 30, 1909 - Court Case - Lilian Augusta Grice vs T. Raynes - Mr Raynes wrote a letter to Mr Grice complaining that Mrs Grice had made damaging statements about Mrs Raynes such as "giving herself airs" and "being a common Jewess" and stating that "when our [the Raynes'] friend , Mr Spencer, a man of the most unblemished reputation was staying with us my wife [Mrs Raynes] only had him in the house for immoral purposes, and had induced me to make my will solely in his favour." Mrs Grice considered this letter libellous and so was suing Mr Raynes. Mrs Grice's comments had supposedly been made on a visit to Mr & Mrs Humphreys and Mrs Humphreys had then told Mrs Raynes about the comments. Judgment was given in favour of the defendant with costs; the plaintiff was not entitled to damages.
